How we read reviews →Family-run Balwyn cafe with kimchi fried rice, squid ink spaghetti and a dog-friendly courtyard
Relaxed, spacious and family-friendly, with indoor seating plus a shaded courtyard with a bar-garden feel. Quiet on Sunday mornings and unhurried.
Dog-friendly rear courtyard with its own entrance, wifi, rear parking, oat, almond and soy milks, nourish and poke bowls, loyalty card, and a free hot-water refill with tea.
Modern fusion rather than traditional: Korean, Japanese and Spanish-leaning dishes sit beside Australian cafe staples, and Chinese-language reviewers praise the squid ink noodle dish.
Repeatedly described as good value, with generous serves and fair prices for brunch and lunch; coffee is seen as good for the area rather than outstanding.
